We’reGood@Matching

Nervous about who your new roommate will be? That’s exactly why we designed our 25-Step Match program to find a roomie that fits your style. Here’s how it works:

Tell Us About You. Fill out our 25-Step Match Survey so we can get to know you

No Computer Matches. Our Resident Directors (leaders of the ResLife team) will review your 25-Step Match Survey and match you with a roommate by hand.

It’s Worth It. This approach to finding you a good roommate requires more work on our part, but the results are worth the extra effort (just like college and life).

As an international student, I was worried that I might not fit in very well, but everyone here is very welcoming. Now it almost feels like this is my home.”

Make friends and build a community away from home. Everything you need comes together right here: the campus, our dorm communities, and our social support programs. And if you’re worried about getting along with a new roommate, don’t. Just fill out our 25-Step Match survey below. Our match-by-hand process has consistently gotten good grades from hundreds of past freshmen.

Prefer to pick your own roomies? No problem! Simply tell us who you want to live with and we’ll make sure you’re placed in the same room (assuming all parties are on board!).

Use this form to tell us about yourself, then we’ll use the information to help make the right match. Please take your time filling out this form to ensure that it’s accurate. Even if you already know who you want to live with, we still need you to complete and return the first few questions on this form.
